Bethesda returned to the E3 stage last night, but the contents of its presentation left some gamers disappointed – in particular, leaving them without a sniff of Elder Scrolls 6, or its rumoured sci-fi open-world title Starfield.

But regardless, there's a cluster of announcements to keep us intrigued – here are the five biggest announcements from Bethesda's E3 event.

1. DOOM and Fallout 4 meet VR

It's official – both DOOM and Fallout 4 are colliding with VR. The former is receiving a new standalone game called DOOM VFR (we don't know what the F stands for, presumably "friendly"or "fluffy").

Looking like a small, self-contained title that's been designed with virtual reality in mind, DOOM VFR is coming to HTC Vive and PlayStation VR later this year.

Meanwhile, Fallout 4 VR is exactly what it says on the tin: the full-fat Fallout 4 experience, but in virtual reality. It's not an expansion or add-on, this is a full-price game which is currently available for pre-purchase on Steam for £39.99.

Unlike DOOM VFR, it's only coming to the Vive, with no announced plans for a PSVR release.

2. Dishonored is back, and the Outsider's in trouble

Arkane isn't done with its steampunk-ish series quite yet. During the presentation, Bethesda announced Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, a standalone adventure for PS4, Xbox One and PC – and you won't need a copy of Dishonored 2 to get it.

Players will return to Karnaca where Billie Lurk and Daud will attempt to assassinate the Outsider, whose meddling in mortal affairs has caused rather a lot of bloodshed.

3. The Evil Within 2 is now a real, goopy thing

Bethesda also announced a sequel to 2014's The Evil Within. Sebastian Castellanos is back, joined by white goop galore (someone has clearly been watching Westworld) alongside a bunch of chimeric horrors.

The Evil Within 2 will launch on PC, Xbox One and PS4 on October 13.

4. Another Wolfenstein game is coming that looks bloodier/Nazi-er than ever

That's right, say hello to Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus. The new entry in the series is set on US soil and sees an American resistance rise against their Nazi overlords.

The trailer mostly hits the right notes: it's camp, occasionally funny, and gives an exhilarating peek at the myriad ways you'll be exploding heads throughout the campaign. It's pulpy, but that's what Wolfenstein is all about.

The New Colossus will head to PC, PS4 and Xbox One on October 27.

5. Skyrim for Switch lets you dress as Link

A modestly-sized trailer for Bethesda's Switch port of Skyrim showed off amiibo integration. If you tap a Link figurine to the console while playing, it causes a Legend of Zelda chest and items to appear.

You'll be able to dress head-to-toe as Link if you choose, and add the Master Sword to your weapons collection. It doesn't look particularly Skyrim, but let's face it, that's highly unlikely to deter Zelda fans.
